In Honor of George Carlin
« on: June 23, 2008, 02:33:10 PM »
I respected Carlin's talent, and his quick wit, but I haven't really laughed at his stuff much since about 1980. Still, he's left some serious legacy, and so I would like to suggest that in his honor we come up with 7 Words and/or Phrases You Can't Say On the Best Show. I would nominate Monk, Monkfish, and Captain Jack, although some criteria will have to be established for just which phrases make the cut.

Ken Rogers could help us out with this one. In his absence, I'd suggest Juno. (Or maybe that's just one of the words you can't say on the forum.)

Stereolaffs.

edit: I managed to somehow miss the earlier Truck Nutz mention (as well as misspell it - so let's just gloss over that).

Although it's not forbidden, talking about your kids/babies can be pretty dicey. It's opening yourself up to a gomp or just general derision.

Wait, does this include Andy from Knoxville? His conversation with Tom seemed pretty convivial.

"Ess Hit," unless you live in Newbridge, Lake Newbridge, Westbridge or any of the surrounding areas.

"Hello, Tom," in a "funny" or otherwise ominous tone of voice.
"You said it. I didn't."

"Greasy Funk" might be allowed but it's not cared for.

Tom talked to Andy...which is very different.
